Re: [mv] Getting flypage to recognize item codes?

[Eric Paul <epaul@spellbook.net>]

I'll take a quick stab because I made this mistake too :P

Are you editing the products.asc file in /home/minivend or the one in the 
directory you installed your catalog to (usually ~/catalogs/simple)

The correct one is the one in the installed dir (~/catalogs/simple/)  You 
can spend all day changing the one in /home/minivend and get nowhere.  The 
other thing to check is the ownership and permissions of your products.asc 
file.  If  none of those are it, drop me another line and I'll see if I can 
help ya.
